Mr. Emanuel continued, "During the fourth quarter, our seasonally weakest period, we generated over $1 million of cash flow from operations--reinforcing the solid foundation of our business. We are especially pleased with 7-Eleven's recent decision to renew its relationship with DataWave through a new multi-year agreement, on the strength of our cutting-edge technology, our superior customer service, and our attractive portfolio of pre-paid products."

Mr. Emanuel concluded, "Looking ahead, we continue to expand our retail network, both in Canada Canada (kăn`ədə), independent nation (2001 pop. 30,007,094), 3,851,787 sq mi (9,976,128 sq km), N North America.
